Construction began in 1940, and the theatre opened in 1941. Built in the Art Deco/Art Moderne style, the Vogue Theatre was originally built as a movie house and has evolved into a venue for the performing arts on Vancouver’s “Theatre Row”.

The Vogue has hosted such events such as Vancouver’s ComedyFest, Vancouver International Film Festival and Vancouver International Jazz Festival.

It was operated by Canadian Odeon Theatres, later Cineplex Odeon up until its closure as a movie theatre in 1987.

The Vogue Theatre was officially recognized by the federal government as a National Historic Site of Canada on November 20, 1993, under the Historic Sites and Monuments Act. However, the interiors of the building are not officially protected. It is also an "A-listed" heritage building by the City of Vancouver.
